Does anybody know how much it costs to replace a PAYG Gas Meter within a with a normal regular one where you pay on a quaterly basis? Also can this be done if the property is still owned by the council?

It's free, as long as you have a good credit rating, if it's poor then they won't swap out the meters.
No permission from the council is needed, the meter goes onto the same pipes, so there is no change to the houses construction etc...

Are you positive about that as these are normally put in to ensure no debt is raised on the property.

I would definitely check with the council as the gas/electric company would need the landlord's permission to change meters anyway (the council being the landlord)

Phone the council to find out if you are allowed to change it. Different councils have different policies as to whether you can remove the prepayment meter. It will be free to change however, so long as you pass a credit check.

Gas and electric have special powers to kick ya **** door in if they want no permission is need from any council only a magistrate if door needs to be booted in etc.

Gas electric company will allow meter change on the basis you have good credit history with them if you have a habit of having to get key meter fitted thru debt and then clear it off gas leccy will not want you to go back to anything other than card meter.
